  1. Teaching Geochemistry Workshop 2010 In association with the 2010 Goldschmidt Conference WELCOME!

  2. THANKS • Participants • For taking time out of your busy schedules to join this workshop • Conveners • Dex Perkins, Univ. North Dakota • Darrell Henry, Louisiana State Univ. • Dave Mogk, Montana State Univ • SERC Staff • Sean Fox • Karin Kirk • Monica Bruckner • UT-Knoxville • Robert Gibbs for logistical support • NAGT—for sponsorship. Please Join! • NSF—for generous support

  3. Workshop Goals • Review where and how geochemistry is taught in the geoscience curriculum, as dedicated geochemistry courses and in other related courses; • Demonstrate exemplary instructional activities including laboratories, use of geochemical datasets, computer-assisted learning, and other in-class exercises • Consider how to best incorporate new advances in geochemical research into instructional activities; and • Continue to create and review new instructional activities to support teaching and learning about geochemistry and establish plans for next steps in developing additional instructional resources

  4. What to Expect • Plenary sessions to explore the current state and future of teaching geochemistry • Small group, focused discussions on topical issues and reviewing/planning instructional resources • Demonstrations of effective instructional activities in geochemistry. Participants will share strategies for actively engaging students in the classroom and for providing effective and innovative lab experiences.
